Soft Targets

America thought it was safe from the dreadful plague of terrorism scouring the rest of the world. Somehow, the cruel violence could never pass our borders. Somehow, the oceans, or God, would spare us.

But jets do not stop for oceans, and the northern and southern borders of the United States are wide open. And while there may be some small effort at security on the East or West coasts, in the heartland there is none. Americans doesn't like security measures.

Americans are going to like Hakim Arif even less. Hakim Arif, leader of Fat'ah, a militant Islamic terrorist organization, knows how vulnerable the United States really is. And he intends to demonstrate that to the world. Fat'ah will bring war on innocents home to the American heartland, in a way no one will ever forget.
